The Alpha's Abused Mate novel Chapter 14

**a week later*

I'm in the living room dusting the furniture while Damien is on the couch using his laptop. I felt him watching me

''Is there something wrong?'' I asked

''Why do you ask that?''

''I felt you staring at me''

He opened his mouth to answer but the door bell rang

''I'll get it''

I went and opened the door. I smiled widely when I saw who it was

''Jake!''

He attacked me with a hug

''Hey Carla, I missed you''

We pulled away

''Aw I missed you too''

Damien cleared his throat from behind me

''Hello'' Jake greeted

''Hi, and you are?" Damien asked

''I'm Jake''

''He's my friend from school'' I responded

Damien's face did not look good at all. He looked like he would strangle Jake at the slightest opportunity.

''Who's he?'' Jake asked me

''This is Damien. .uh my...''

I didn't know what to say

''Boyfriend'' Damien said

''Oh'' Jake looked disappointed

''Yeah that's it'' I said

Oh wow. I was not expecting that

''Can I talk to you outside?'' Jake asked me

''Sure"

I stepped outside closing the door behind me

''You never told me you had a boyfriend'' he frowned

''I don't''

''He said otherwise''

I sighed

''It's complicated''

He looked at me for a while then shook his head.

''Okay I get it''

He handed me a box of chocolate with red roses

''These are for you''

I collected them from him with a wide smile.

''Thank you so much''

''I was worried about you in school. I didn't see you for a whole week''

''I was sick that's all''

''Sorry, are you okay now?''

''Yeah, I'll come to school tomorrow':

''He's still my friend''

''I don't give two fucks who he is. I don't want you near him period''

''why?''

''Leave it alone''

He walked up the stairs. I don't know where the confidence was coming from but I followed him to his office closing the door behind us

I'm determined to know why

''Why don't you want him near me?''

''I said leave it alone''

''No I won't''

''Have you forgotten who you're talking to''

'

''it doesn't matter right now''

"Yes it does. I demand respect''

''I'm giving you respect, I just wanna know why I can't see a friend''

''I said leave it alone ''

''I won't''

''Do you want to be punished?''

''I don't care about that right now. Tell me''

''Carla for the last time. Leave –it-alone''

He said the last part slowly

''No''

''Can't you see he likes you? You're obviously attracted to him too. He's a threat to me. Isn't it obvious?"
